Disabilities

When I go looking for a new car, I spend a lot of time looking for just the right car for me and my family. It has to have four doors, so that we can easily get Emma in and out of the back. We got a two door before she was born, and while we manage, we want a four door. It has to have a hatch so that our 80 pound lap dog can get back there to go to the dog park. It also has to have some sort of alternative fuel source, or get really good gas mileage. Bio-diesel, electric, hybrid, natural gas...

After working with people with disabilities, I know that it gets even harder to find the right car. Big vans for wheel chairs are great for wheel chairs, but what if your friend, spouse, family member can't get into it with you. What kind of steering control do you need? Or will only the caregivers be driving? What kind of lift? How many wheel chairs will you need to hold? How many others will you need to hold? There are so many things to consider, I would not even know where to begin.

Lucky for us, there are places to help with that. NMEDA is a non-profit organization who realizes how difficult it can be to get the right car and is there to help. They offer personalized, in person evaluations. How easy is it to get the right vehicle over the internet? They don't sell anything. They help find the right products to match the individual. No one person is the same, so they look at the individual and get them the right tools.

If you need a new vehicle and have a disability, check them out and see what they can do to help. If you do, I'd love to hear back from you and let everyone else know of your experience.
